Seireitei... She had not seen this place in 7 long years and she hadn't seen him in 15. The wind ripped in her hair and clothes and she was feeling the bloodlust come to her. The whole place was in uproar due to the bounto invasion and it had been easy to sneak in unseen together with Ichigo and the others. She was heading towards the 11th squad's headquarters in a quick pace, she knew instinctively she would find him there.

Zaraki Kenpachi, who had just gotten back from his fight with Ichinose Maki, stared in disbelief at the person standing in the doorway. It looked like Rai, it moved like Rai and it smelled like Rai.

- Rai-chan! Yachiru leaped up into the woman's arms. Where have you been?

- Now's not the time, Yachiru, Zaraki growled, please leave!

- Ooo, Ken-chan wants to be alone with Rai-chan. She skipped out from the office and closed the door after her.

- Zaraki, Rai hissed, long time no see.

- Don't talk so much, you know it's useless.

He unsheathed his zanpaktou and attacked her.

Yachiru, who had fetched Ikkaku and Yumichika, arrived just as the ruckus settled down in the office. As they threw the door open a bloodcovered scene met them. Their taichou and the former fourth seat officer was kneeling on the floor, face towards eachother. His 2 metres against her 1½, his sword in her gut and she had one of hers in his shoulder and her free hand grabbing his throath. Zaraki's eyepatch lay thrown on the floor and they were both panting heavily, blood running from their mouths. Zaraki raises his head and the others hear him whisper a "God, I've missed you!" and then watches in horrorfilled surprise as their bloodthirsty taichou presses his lips against Rai's. After the faint kiss they both collapse in a heap on the floor.
